cccac0a2 | 33 | WELCOME TO SQUID @VERSION@ |
34 | ---------------------------- | |
3a278cb8 | 35 | |
cccac0a2 | 36 | This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish |
37 | to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/) | |
38 | for the FAQ and other documentation. | |
3a278cb8 | 39 | |
cccac0a2 | 40 | The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for |
41 | various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the | |
42 | default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause | |
43 | run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default | |
44 | setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid | |
45 | option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the | |
46 | case. | |

51 | Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive. | |
52 | Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards is | |
53 | supported. | |
54 | ||
55 | For example, | |
56 | ||
57 | include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config | |
58 | ||
59 | Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels. | |
60 | This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references | |
61 | from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load | |
62 | configuration files. | |

41bd17a4 | 66 | OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION |
5473c134 | 67 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
68 | COMMENT_END | |
69 | ||
41bd17a4 | 70 | NAME: auth_param |
71 | TYPE: authparam | |
72 | LOC: Config.authConfiguration | |
cccac0a2 | 73 | DEFAULT: none |
74 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 75 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
76 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 77 | |
41bd17a4 | 78 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 79 | |
41bd17a4 | 80 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
81 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
82 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
83 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
84 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
85 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
86 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
87 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
88 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 89 | |
41bd17a4 | 90 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
91 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
92 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
93 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 94 | |
41bd17a4 | 95 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
96 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
97 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
98 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
99 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
100 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
101 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
102 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
103 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 104 | |
41bd17a4 | 105 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
106 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
107 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
108 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
13b5cd0c AJ |
109 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have authentication |
110 | disabled. | |
cccac0a2 | 111 | |
41bd17a4 | 112 | === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. === |
cccac0a2 | 113 | |
41bd17a4 | 114 | "program" cmdline |
115 | Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program | |
116 | reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or | |
117 | "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed | |
118 | by a error description available as %m in the returned error page. | |
119 | If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth. | |
cccac0a2 | 120 | |
41bd17a4 | 121 | By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a |
122 | program is specified. | |
cccac0a2 | 123 | |
41bd17a4 | 124 | If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set |
125 | this line to something like | |
307b83b7 | 126 | |
41bd17a4 | 127 | auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd |
9e7dbc51 | 128 | |
41bd17a4 | 129 | "children" numberofchildren |
130 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few | |
131 | Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential | |
132 | verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are | |
133 | done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of | |
134 | authenticator processes. | |
135 | auth_param basic children 5 | |
9e7dbc51 | 136 | |
41bd17a4 | 137 | "concurrency" concurrency |
138 | The number of concurrent requests the helper can process. | |
139 | The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports | |
140 | one request at a time. Setting this changes the protocol used to | |
141 | include a channel number first on the request/response line, allowing | |
142 | multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallell without | |
143 | wating for the response. | |
144 | Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this. | |
145 | auth_param basic concurrency 0 | |
0fdafae7 | 146 | |
41bd17a4 | 147 | "realm" realmstring |
148 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
149 | client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
150 | the text the user will see when prompted their username and | |
151 | password). There is no default. | |
152 | auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server | |
d1b63fc8 | 153 | |
41bd17a4 | 154 | "credentialsttl" timetolive |
155 | Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated | |
156 | username:password pair is valid for - in other words how | |
157 | often the helper program is called for that user. Set this | |
158 | low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note | |
159 | setting this high does not impact your susceptibility | |
160 | to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password | |
161 | system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system, | |
162 | you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also | |
163 | use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule. | |
cccac0a2 | 164 | |
41bd17a4 | 165 | "casesensitive" on|off |
166 | Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are | |
167 | case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both | |
168 | lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This | |
169 | makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar. | |
170 | auth_param basic casesensitive off | |
cccac0a2 | 171 | |
41bd17a4 | 172 | === Parameters for the digest scheme follow === |
cccac0a2 | 173 | |
41bd17a4 | 174 | "program" cmdline |
175 | Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such | |
176 | a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and | |
177 | replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or | |
178 | ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists. | |
179 | See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1). | |
180 | "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description | |
181 | available as %m in the returned error page. | |
cccac0a2 | 182 | |
41bd17a4 | 183 | By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a |
184 | program is specified. | |
b8c0c06d | 185 | |
41bd17a4 | 186 | If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to |
187 | something like | |
cccac0a2 | 188 | |
41bd17a4 | 189 | auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_auth_pw @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass |
cccac0a2 | 190 | |
41bd17a4 | 191 | "children" numberofchildren |
192 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default). | |
193 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to | |
194 | process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down. | |
195 | When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network | |
196 | you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
197 | auth_param digest children 5 | |
cccac0a2 | 198 | |
41bd17a4 | 199 | "realm" realmstring |
200 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
201 | client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
202 | the text the user will see when prompted their username and | |
203 | password). There is no default. | |
204 | auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server | |
cccac0a2 | 205 | |
41bd17a4 | 206 | "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval |
207 | Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued | |
208 | to client_agent's are checked for validity. | |
cccac0a2 | 209 | |
41bd17a4 | 210 | "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval |
211 | Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be | |
212 | valid for. | |
cccac0a2 | 213 | |
41bd17a4 | 214 | "nonce_max_count" number |
215 | Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be | |
216 | used. | |
cccac0a2 | 217 | |
41bd17a4 | 218 | "nonce_strictness" on|off |
219 | Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior | |
220 | for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when | |
221 | useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1 | |
222 | (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off. | |
cccac0a2 | 223 | |
41bd17a4 | 224 | "check_nonce_count" on|off |
225 | This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check | |
226 | completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in | |
227 | certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the | |
228 | nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks. | |
cccac0a2 | 229 | |
41bd17a4 | 230 | "post_workaround" on|off |
231 | This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends | |
232 | an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing | |
233 | the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request. | |
cccac0a2 | 234 | |
41bd17a4 | 235 | === NTLM scheme options follow === |
cccac0a2 | 236 | |
41bd17a4 | 237 | "program" cmdline |
238 | Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator. | |
239 | Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with | |
240 | the browser via Squid until authentication is completed. | |
241 | If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl | |
242 | of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program | |
243 | is not used. | |
cccac0a2 | 244 | |
41bd17a4 | 245 | auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth |
cccac0a2 | 246 | |
41bd17a4 | 247 | "children" numberofchildren |
248 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default). | |
249 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to | |
250 | process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it | |
251 | down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow) | |
252 | network you are likely to need lots of authenticator | |
253 | processes. | |
cccac0a2 | 254 | |
41bd17a4 | 255 | auth_param ntlm children 5 |
cccac0a2 | 256 | |
41bd17a4 | 257 | "keep_alive" on|off |
258 | If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the | |
259 | Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to | |
260 | off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on | |
261 | the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are | |
262 | supported by the proxy. | |
cccac0a2 | 263 | |
41bd17a4 | 264 | auth_param ntlm keep_alive on |
cccac0a2 | 265 | |
41bd17a4 | 266 | === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow === |
cccac0a2 | 267 | |
41bd17a4 | 268 | "program" cmdline |
269 | Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator. | |
270 | This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with | |
271 | the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers. | |
272 | Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy | |
273 | using the Kerberos mechanisms. | |
274 | If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least one acl | |
275 | of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate authenticator_program | |
276 | is not used. | |
277 | The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth | |
278 | program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later. | |
cccac0a2 | 279 | |
41bd17a4 | 280 | auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego |
cccac0a2 | 281 | |
41bd17a4 | 282 | "children" numberofchildren |
283 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default). | |
284 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to | |
285 | process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it | |
286 | down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow) | |

322 | TYPE: time_t | |
323 | DEFAULT: 1 hour | |
324 | LOC: Config.authenticateGCInterval | |
325 | DOC_START | |
326 | The time period between garbage collection across the username cache. | |
327 | This is a tradeoff between memory utilization (long intervals - say | |
328 | 2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you | |

335 | LOC: Config.authenticateTTL | |
336 | DOC_START | |
337 | The time a user & their credentials stay in the logged in | |
338 | user cache since their last request. When the garbage | |
339 | interval passes, all user credentials that have passed their | |
340 | TTL are removed from memory. | |

346 | DEFAULT: 0 seconds | |
347 | DOC_START | |
348 | If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL, | |
349 | this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP | |
350 | addresses associated with each user. Use a small value | |
351 | (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses | |
352 | quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe | |
353 | using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN | |
354 | environment with relatively static address assignments. | |

cccac0a2 | 434 | |
41bd17a4 | 435 | The helper receives lines per the above format specification, |

cccac0a2 | 443 | |
41bd17a4 | 444 | Defined keywords: |
cccac0a2 | 445 | |
41bd17a4 | 446 | user= The users name (login) |
447 | password= The users password (for login= cache_peer option) | |
448 | message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o | |
449 | in error pages | |
450 | tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results) | |
451 | Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags. | |
452 | log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as | |
453 | %ea in logformat specifications | |
934b03fc | 454 | |
41bd17a4 | 455 | If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect |
456 | each value in both requests and responses. | |
6a566b9c | 457 | |
41bd17a4 | 458 | If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes |
459 | if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \. | |
460 | And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped. | |
1e5562e3 | 461 | |
41bd17a4 | 462 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by |
463 | introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response. | |
464 | The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. | |

682 | Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to | |
683 | find the original source of a request. | |
684 | ||
685 | Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies | |
686 | before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a | |
687 | comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the | |
688 | rightmost address being the most recent. | |
689 | ||
690 | If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this | |
691 | configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header | |
692 | to see where that host received the request from. If the | |
693 | X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if | |
694 | acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking | |
695 | until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to | |
696 | follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first | |
697 | address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then | |
698 | it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of | |
699 | X-Forwarded-For addresses.) | |
700 | ||
701 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
702 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
703 | be treated as the client address for access control, delay | |
704 | pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client, | |
705 | delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client | |
706 | options. | |
707 | ||
708 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: | |
709 | ||
710 | Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header | |
711 | can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid | |
712 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the | |
713 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
714 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |
715 | based on the client's source addresses. | |
716 | ||
717 | For example: | |
718 | ||
719 | acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 | |
720 | acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com | |
721 | follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost | |

943 | DOC_START | |
944 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |
945 | used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as | |
946 | MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the | |
947 | reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where | |
948 | all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size | |
949 | for this reply. | |
950 | ||
951 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, | |
952 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists | |
953 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
954 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
955 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
956 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
957 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
958 | ||
959 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
960 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
961 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |
962 | use this option if you have downstream caches. | |
963 | ||
964 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |
965 | will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest | |
966 | non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus | |
967 | the size of your largest error page. | |

986 | ||
987 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
988 | requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. | |
989 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
990 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
991 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
992 | address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address' | |
993 | option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific | |
994 | address, so you can use the port number alone. | |
995 | ||
996 | If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you | |
997 | probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead. | |
998 | ||
999 | The -a command line option may be used to specify additional | |
1000 | port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will | |
1001 | be plain proxy ports with no options. | |
1002 | ||
1003 | You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines. | |

1047 | ||
1048 | In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies | |
1049 | Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the | |
1050 | clients. This is the case when the intercepting device | |
1051 | does not fully track connections and fails to forward | |
1052 | ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you | |
1053 | have such setup and experience that certain clients | |
1054 | sporadically hang or never complete requests set | |

1286 | If set to on (default), any HTTP response towards clients will | |
1287 | have the TOS value of the response comming from the remote | |
1288 | server masked with the value of zph_preserve_miss_tos_mask. | |
1289 | For this to work correctly, you will need to patch your linux | |
1290 | kernel with the TOS preserving ZPH patch. | |
1291 | The kernel patch can be downloaded from http://zph.bratcheda.org | |

1337 | IPv6 Magic: | |
1338 | ||
1339 | Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 internets. | |
1340 | tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing | |
1341 | all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong | |
1342 | side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary. | |
1343 | ||
1344 | To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits | |
1345 | an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic | |
1346 | is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface. | |

1499 | For example, the following lines will bypass all validation errors | |

41bd17a4 | 1612 | use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched |
1613 | from this cache should not be saved locally. | |
cccac0a2 | 1614 | |
41bd17a4 | 1615 | use 'weight=n' to affect the selection of a peer |
1616 | during any weighted peer-selection mechanisms. | |
1617 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
1618 | larger weights are favored more. | |
1619 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
1620 | protocol is not in use. | |
cccac0a2 | 1621 | |
41bd17a4 | 1622 | use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to |
1623 | be subtracted from round trip times of parents. | |
1624 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
1625 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
1626 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
cccac0a2 | 1627 | |
41bd17a4 | 1628 | use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use |
1629 | when sending an ICP queries to this address. | |
1630 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. | |
1631 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
1632 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
1633 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below. | |
5473c134 | 1634 | |
41bd17a4 | 1635 | use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this |
1636 | neighbor. | |
5473c134 | 1637 | |
41bd17a4 | 1638 | use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this |
1639 | neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor | |
1640 | round trip time updated and is usually used in | |
1641 | conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
cccac0a2 | 1642 | |
41bd17a4 | 1643 | use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can |
1644 | be used as a "last-resort" if a peer cannot be located | |
1645 | by any of the peer-selection mechanisms. | |
1646 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
cccac0a2 | 1647 | |
41bd17a4 | 1648 | use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which |
1649 | should be used in a round-robin fashion in the | |
1650 | absence of any ICP queries. | |
cccac0a2 | 1651 | |
41bd17a4 | 1652 | use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents |
1653 | which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the | |
1654 | frequency of each parent being based on the round trip | |
1655 | time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
1656 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
cccac0a2 | 1657 | |
41bd17a4 | 1658 | use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should |
1659 | be used as a CARP array. The requests will be | |
1660 | distributed among the parents based on the CARP load | |
382db7eb | 1661 | balancing hash function based on their weight. |
cccac0a2 | 1662 | |
f7e1d9ce HN |
1663 | use 'userhash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents |
1664 | based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
1665 | ||
1666 | use 'sourcehash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents | |
1667 | based on the client source ip. | |
1668 | ||
41bd17a4 | 1669 | 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer |
1670 | is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will | |
1671 | not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies | |
1672 | will be accepted from it. | |
cccac0a2 | 1673 | |
41bd17a4 | 1674 | 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS |
1675 | replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes | |
1676 | and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
cccac0a2 | 1677 | |
41bd17a4 | 1678 | use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from |
1679 | this neighbor. | |
cccac0a2 | 1680 | |
41bd17a4 | 1681 | 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP |
1682 | RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor. | |
cccac0a2 | 1683 | |
41bd17a4 | 1684 | use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor |
1685 | from influencing the delay pools. | |
7d90757b | 1686 | |
41bd17a4 | 1687 | use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup |
1688 | proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication. | |
1689 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
1690 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
7d90757b | 1691 | |
41bd17a4 | 1692 | use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against |
1693 | the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy | |
1694 | configuration, the origin web server. This will pass | |
1695 | the users credentials as they are to the peer. | |
1696 | This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme. | |
1697 | Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must | |
1698 | share the same user database as HTTP only allows for | |
1699 | a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). | |

41bd17a4 | 1703 | use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the |
1704 | upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant | |
1705 | to be used when the peer is in another administrative | |
1706 | domain, but it is still needed to identify each user. | |
1707 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
1708 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
1709 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
1710 | the login=username:password option above. | |
cccac0a2 | 1711 | |
41bd17a4 | 1712 | use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer |
1713 | specific connect timeout (also see the | |
1714 | peer_connect_timeout directive) | |
7f7db318 | 1715 | |
41bd17a4 | 1716 | use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache |
1717 | digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from | |
1718 | the specified URL rather than the Squid default | |
1719 | location. | |
cccac0a2 | 1720 | |
41bd17a4 | 1721 | use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached |
1722 | when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily | |
1723 | useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To | |
1724 | extensive use of this option may result in forwarding | |
1725 | loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings | |
1726 | with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on | |
1727 | requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the | |
1728 | source is a peer) | |
cccac0a2 | 1729 | |
41bd17a4 | 1730 | use 'max-conn=n' to limit the amount of connections Squid |
1731 | may open to this peer. | |
cccac0a2 | 1732 | |
41bd17a4 | 1733 | use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries |
1734 | to the neighbor. You probably also want to | |
1735 | set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130. | |
0b48417e | 1736 | You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of |
1737 | deny all will prevent peer traffic. | |
cccac0a2 | 1738 | |
41bd17a4 | 1739 | use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions |
0b48417e | 1740 | You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of |
1741 | deny all will prevent peer traffic. | |
cccac0a2 | 1742 | |

1743 | use 'htcp-no-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but without |
1744 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with | |
1745 | htcp-only-clr. | |
1746 | ||
1747 | use 'htcp-no-purge-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor | |
1748 | including CLRs but only when they do not result from | |
1749 | PURGE requests. | |

41bd17a4 | 1757 | 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as |
1758 | a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups. | |
cccac0a2 | 1759 | |
41bd17a4 | 1760 | use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same |
1761 | host but different ports. This name can be used to | |
1762 | differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar | |
1763 | directives. | |
cccac0a2 | 1764 | |
41bd17a4 | 1765 | use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header |
1766 | of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator | |
1767 | setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain | |
1768 | name and using redirectors to feed this domain name | |
1769 | is not feasible. | |

1914 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |

1960 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
1961 | ||
1962 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
1963 | for: | |
1964 | * In-Transit objects | |
1965 | * Hot Objects | |
1966 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
1967 | ||
1968 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
1969 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
1970 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
1971 | priority. | |
1972 | ||
1973 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
1974 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
1975 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
1976 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
1977 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
1978 | ||
1979 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
1980 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
1981 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
1982 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
1983 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
1984 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |

7f7db318 | 2030 | |
41bd17a4 | 2031 | The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects. |
0976f8db | 2032 | |
41bd17a4 | 2033 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
2034 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
2035 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
2036 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 2037 | |
41bd17a4 | 2038 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
2039 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
2040 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
2041 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 2042 | |
41bd17a4 | 2043 | Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents |
2044 | cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based | |
2045 | replacement policies. | |
7d90757b | 2046 | |
41bd17a4 | 2047 | NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase |
2048 | the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to | |
2049 | to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA. | |

41bd17a4 | 2118 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
2119 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
2120 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 2121 | |
41bd17a4 | 2122 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
2123 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
2124 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 2125 | |
41bd17a4 | 2126 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
2127 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
2128 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
2129 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
2130 | time. | |

41bd17a4 | 2132 | The coss store type: |
0976f8db | 2133 | |
41bd17a4 | 2134 | block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's. |
2135 | Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers | |
2136 | are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum | |
2137 | size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which | |
2138 | leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note | |
2139 | you should not change the coss block size after Squid | |
2140 | has written some objects to the cache_dir. | |
0976f8db | 2141 | |
41bd17a4 | 2142 | The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file |
2143 | called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and | |
2144 | this will be created by squid -z. | |
0976f8db | 2145 | |
41bd17a4 | 2146 | Common options: |
0976f8db | 2147 | |
41bd17a4 | 2148 | no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir |
0976f8db | 2149 | |
41bd17a4 | 2150 | max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports. |
2151 | It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object. | |
2152 | Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order | |
2153 | the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the | |
2154 | ones with no max-size specification last. | |
0976f8db | 2155 | |
41bd17a4 | 2156 | Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ, |
2157 | which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure | |
2158 | option. | |

3203 | Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service | |
3204 | Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it | |
3205 | is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides | |
3206 | a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH | |
3207 | requests from older IE versions to check the origin server | |
3208 | for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount | |
3209 | (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get | |
3210 | fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid | |
3211 | cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior | |
3212 | of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a | |
3213 | forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will, | |
3214 | hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be | |
3215 | handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to | |
3216 | the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but | |

41bd17a4 | 3343 | This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the |
3344 | older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much | |
3345 | more configurable. This new method creates a list of ACLs | |
3346 | for each header, allowing you very fine-tuned header | |
3347 | mangling. | |
cccac0a2 | 3348 | |
41bd17a4 | 3349 | You can only specify known headers for the header name. |
3350 | Other headers are reclassified as 'Other'. You can also | |
3351 | refer to all the headers with 'All'. | |
cccac0a2 | 3352 | |
41bd17a4 | 3353 | For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old |

3518 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |

3523 | client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You | |

3832 | This defines the class of each delay pool. There must be exactly one | |
3833 | delay_class line for each delay pool. For example, to define two | |
3834 | delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above | |
3835 | and here would be: | |
3836 | ||
3837 | Example: | |
3838 | delay_pools 4 # 4 delay pools | |
3839 | delay_class 1 2 # pool 1 is a class 2 pool | |
3840 | delay_class 2 3 # pool 2 is a class 3 pool | |
3841 | delay_class 3 4 # pool 3 is a class 4 pool | |
3842 | delay_class 4 5 # pool 4 is a class 5 pool | |
3843 | ||
3844 | The delay pool classes are: | |
3845 | ||
3846 | class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
3847 | bucket. | |
3848 | ||
3849 | class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
3850 | bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen | |
3851 | from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address. | |
3852 | ||
3853 | class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
3854 | bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen | |
3855 | from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a | |
3856 | "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through | |
3857 | 32 of the IP address. | |
3858 | ||
3859 | class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an | |
3860 | additional limit on a per user basis. This | |
3861 | only takes effect if the username is established | |
3862 | in advance - by forcing authentication in your | |
3863 | http_access rules. | |
3864 | ||
3865 | class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see | |
3866 | external_acl's tag= reply). | |
3867 | ||
3868 | NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d | |
3869 | -> bits 25 through 32 are "d" | |
3870 | -> bits 17 through 24 are "c" | |

3903 | DOC_START | |
3904 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
3905 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
3906 | description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: | |
3907 | ||
3908 | delay_parameters pool aggregate | |
3909 | ||
3910 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
3911 | ||
3912 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual | |
3913 | ||
3914 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
3915 | ||
3916 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual | |
3917 | ||
3918 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
3919 | ||
3920 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user | |
3921 | ||
3922 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
3923 | ||
3924 | delay_parameters pool tag | |
3925 | ||
3926 | The variables here are: | |
3927 | ||
3928 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
3929 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
3930 | delay_class lines. | |
3931 | ||
3932 | aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket | |
3933 | (class 1, 2, 3). | |
3934 | ||
3935 | individual the "delay parameters" for the individual | |
3936 | buckets (class 2, 3). | |
3937 | ||
3938 | network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets | |
3939 | (class 3). | |
3940 | ||
3941 | user the delay parameters for the user buckets | |
3942 | (class 4). | |
3943 | ||
3944 | tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets | |
3945 | (class 5). | |
3946 | ||
3947 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
3948 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
3949 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
3950 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
3951 | ||
3952 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the | |
3953 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps | |
3954 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: | |
3955 | ||
3956 | delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000 | |
3957 | ||
3958 | Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited". | |
3959 | ||
3960 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above | |
3961 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit) | |
3962 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each | |
3963 | individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb | |
3964 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed | |
3965 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
3966 | large downloads more significantly: | |
3967 | ||
3968 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 | |
3969 | ||
3970 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. | |
3971 | ||
3972 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
3973 | be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: | |
3974 | ||
3975 | delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000 | |

5473c134 | 4852 | |
4853 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |
4854 | do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last | |
4855 | acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists | |
4856 | for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page. | |
4857 | ||
4858 | The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which | |
4859 | denied access. The exceptions to this rule are: | |
4860 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |
4861 | the first authentication related acl encountered | |
4862 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
4863 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |

4865 | NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory |

4870 | get redirected (302) to the specified URL. %s in the redirection | |
4871 | URL will be replaced by the requested URL. | |

4886 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 4887 | By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests |
4888 | (matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cacheable request type) direct | |
4889 | to origin servers. | |
e72a0ec0 | 4890 | |

4896 | ratio. | |

5473c134 | 4907 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |

0b0cfcf2 | 4910 | |
5473c134 | 4911 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
4912 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
4913 | fails. | |
4914 | ||
4915 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
4916 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |

0b0cfcf2 | 4926 | |
5473c134 | 4927 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
4928 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
4929 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
4930 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
4931 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 4932 | |
5473c134 | 4933 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
4934 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 4935 | |
5473c134 | 4936 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 4937 | |
5473c134 | 4938 | acl FTP proto FTP |
4939 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 4940 | |
5473c134 | 4941 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
4942 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
4943 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
4944 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
4945 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 4946 | |
5473c134 | 4947 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
4948 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
4949 | always_direct deny local-external | |
4950 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 4951 | |
5473c134 | 4952 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
4953 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
4954 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
4955 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 4956 | |
5473c134 | 4957 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
4958 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |
4959 | the replies see no_cache. | |
4960 | ||
4961 | This option replaces some v1.1 options such as local_domain | |
4962 | and local_ip. | |

4972 | never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read | |
4973 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
4974 | ||
4975 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
4976 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
4977 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
4978 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
4979 | ||
4980 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 4981 | never_direct deny local-servers |
4982 | never_direct allow all | |
4983 | ||
4984 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
4985 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |
4986 | ||
4987 | acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net | |
4988 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net | |
4989 | always_direct deny local-external | |

ac7a62f9 | 5171 | The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the |
5172 | HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body | |
5173 | or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments, | |
5174 | previews greatly speedup ICAP processing. | |

5176 | During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what | |
5177 | HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be. | |
5178 | Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one. | |

5473c134 | 5676 | If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified |
5677 | limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free() | |
5678 | requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc | |
5679 | library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps | |
5680 | objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set | |
5681 | memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your | |
5682 | configuration will use less memory. | |
ec1245f8 | 5683 | |
5473c134 | 5684 | If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there |
5685 | will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping. | |
ec1245f8 | 5686 | |

5688 | memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead. | |

5690 | An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account | |
5691 | when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per | |
5692 | object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of | |
5693 | reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library. | |

5995 | When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process | |
5996 | sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork() | |
5997 | system call. This sleep may help the situation where your | |
5998 | system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual) | |
5999 | memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child | |
6000 | processes, these sleep delays will add up and your | |
6001 | Squid will not service requests for some amount of time | |
6002 | until all the child processes have been started. | |
6003 | On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are | |
6004 | rounded to 1000. | |

6012 | DOC_START | |
6013 | On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will | |
6014 | reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for | |
6015 | proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces. | |
6016 | In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be | |
6017 | desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'. | |
6018 | Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted. | |
